Backed by Intel Corporation, the book is set to launch in March 2014.??

“The idea [for Wizards & Robots] came from Brian’s work around robotics and my work around science, technology, engineering and mathematics for inner city kids,” said the Black Eyed Peas front man (given name: Will Adams). “I was concerned about the lack of funding we have in education in inner cities, juxtaposed against the advancement in robotics and micro processing.”
